A beautiful and unusual pair of antique glove stretchers, dating from the Victorian to Edwardian era (c.1880–1910). Finely hand-carved from polished wood, they feature delightful dog head terminals with inset glass eyes, giving them real character and charm.
Glove stretchers were once an essential item in every lady’s dressing table, used to gently stretch and maintain the shape of delicate leather gloves. Today, they make a wonderful decorative piece and a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves history, sewing, or collecting unique antique novelties.
The rich patina of the wood, the carved seam detail down the arms, and the whimsical dog head carvings make this a standout display item. Perfect for an antique sewing collection, as a curiosity for a vintage desk or dressing table, or as an unforgettable gift for the person who has everything.
